I would expect the last padding byte to be 08, not 00, since 8 padding
bytes were added. PKCS#7 padding for the same complete block would be:
08 08 08 08 08 08 08 08

Which decrypts to:
$ perl -e '
$x="f90aba97690caf10ea3bc77ae91defe2";
$x =~ s/(..)/chr(hex($1))/eg; print $x;' |
openssl enc -d -nopad -des-ecb -K 0101010101010101 |
od -tx1
0000000 61 61 61 61 61 61 61 61 f1 02 b2 9f 61 04 a7 18
0000020
which is what we expect, since XOR of 08 into each byte of the last block
yields the first block of ciphertext.

Well it is certainly rather unexpected, to say the least, for the
ciphertext of a full block to contain the plaintext as its second
block. OpenSSL is working correctly. Your CrypTool is not. Help
with using CrypTool is likely a topic for another list.
